The marshmallowy design is much the same as before, as is the pitch: a highly capable, multipiece home networking system with strong smart home chops that promises to spread fast, reliable Wi-Fi throughout your entire home. The Pro model’s most notable addition is a tri-band build with support for Wi-Fi 6E, which allows the system to connect other Wi-Fi 6E devices over the recently opened, ultrawide 6GHz band, or to use that mass of bandwidth as a dedicated wireless backhaul for the mesh.

‘When it first launched it was a hit because there was nothing quite like it and the consumer felt like they were their own interior designer with clever ways of visualising the product in your homes using quick and easy VR tools.’

After several rounds of speed tests, the Nest Wifi Pro returned average download speeds just shy of 500Mbps. Those speeds were quite consistent from test to test, which is why those dots in the scatter plot are all so close together. Still, other Wi-Fi 6E systems have hit faster speeds in these same tests, particularly at close range.

With no previous-gen devices in the mix, the 6GHz band offers cleaner bandwidth, too, with a significant reduction in interference from nearby networks and devices. That might make the Nest Wifi Pro a good fit for densely populated areas with lots of neighbor networks that overlap with your own.

Research by the insurance firm Aviva predicts a 113 per cent increase by the end of the year in adults who own a ‘sleeved blanket’ that can be worn like a robe, while owners of electric blankets could be up by 89 per cent.

The Loose Women star, who struggled to hold back tears as she spoke ahead of Sunday night’s launch show, admitted she couldn’t look at photos of her two children – Alfie, five, and Florence, Gadgetinku.com three – because she was yearning for them so much. 

There is also expected to be a 33 per cent spike in sales of hot water bottles – and a suggestion that people could even be saving money by making their own clothes, with those owning sewing machines forecast to rise by 60 per cent.

‘Some feel he has been given preferential treatment ahead of his time on the show, especially as stars such as Charlene [White] have found the isolation process extremely difficult and emotionally draining.’

So is the Nest Wifi Pro more than twice as fast as before, as the speed rating suggests? First off, it’s very important to remember that your devices can only connect to one band at a time, so those combined-band speed ratings are a bit misleading. Still, in Google’s listing for the Nest Wifi Pro, the company notes that Wi-Fi 6E is up to twice as fast as Wi-Fi 6, largely thanks to the support for multiple 160MHz-width channels of traffic on the 6GHz band. That tells you that the system’s biggest speed gains are likely to come to Wi-Fi 6E devices that can make full use of that 6GHz band.

That said, multi-gig internet plans like that are expensive, and probably more speed than just about anybody needs at home at this point. Still, it’s a curious omission with the Nest Wifi Pro, and perhaps a missed opportunity to make the router feel more future-proofed.

Simply opening up a scalding metal pan filled with high-pressure steam was something of a lottery – with many fearing the lid would explode across the kitchen.
